The All Powerful Hover

The All Powerful Hover

So, as part of his Christmas present this year, I bought my boyfriend the special DVD edition of City of Heroes. (And all for that damn PVP comic book!) But it turns out to be an amazing game. And one of the many perks of being a gamer invovled with a gamer is that I get to come over and play City of Heroes on his computer for hours. (I will have to break down and buy my own copy eventually.)

After countless hours of fighting and running, followed up by more fighting and more running, my character is finally able to hover. I am tickled pink about this new found ability. I spend all my time 15 stories off the ground watching the burnt out streets of the Hollow beneath me. Like a lioness, okay like a purple lioness, I single out my prey from a group of outcasts. Then I slowly hover down to them.

Very, very slowly.

Then I start taking pot shots at my intended prey. If I am lucky I can take out the stray and hover upwards towards safety.
